Default Course layout, what do you like or dislike?
I'm not talking about Links vs Woods or anything like that. Rather do you prefer narrow fairways, lots of doglegs, water on a lot of holes, elevated tee's or greens. Large PGA style greens or small postage stamped sized ones?

I don't mind narrow fairways at all & water is a fun obstacle. Huge greens are nice for your GIR but I prefer the small ones for some reason.

My absolute #1 criteria though is plenty of elevation changes, I love courses which have huge elevation changes from tee to green. Forced carries over ravines, water, etc. Nicely designed doglegs are great too.

I don't like straight holes with 100 yd wide fairways, very boring. No elevation differences at all is a big no-no also.

Courses which separate each hole well are nice, I prefer the feeling of solitude when on a course & don't like looking over & being to see another 2-3-4 holes.

Then you get the courses which seem to toss some lame 120 yd par 3 with absolutely no challenge or thought process tossed into it. It's as if the architect was done with the layout & all of sudden figured out they were 1 hole short, so they squeezed in a crummy par 3 somewhere.
